Have any of you bros ever tried drinking vinegar to assist with recovery and DOMS?
I read somewhere that about a shot of vinegar or apple cider vinegar can really help assist with reducing DOMS and improve recovery.
Anyone drink vinegar for this purpose?
Nobody drinks apple cider vinegar or takes the capsules?
I never did myself but a guy at the gym 10 years who was probably the most developed used to encourage that. He was juicing pretty hard so it's not really known if that helps. But I would think it would make an upset stomach after a workout with so much protein be eating.
Studies by any chance? Never heard of this.
IDK but our football coaches made us drink pickle juice for cramps :D

Hahaha yup!
I used to drink apple cider vinegar before but it's pretty tough to get down.

probably for the salt
Here is one article: [url]http://jn.nutrition.org/cgi/content/full/131/7/1973[/url]
[quote]Summary:results show that dietary acetic acid can enhance glycogen repletion in both liver and skeletal muscle. The mechanism of this effect is different in liver and skeletal muscle. In liver, acetic acid feeding enhances glycogen repletion by activation of gluconeogenesis and the preferential utilization of G-6-P for glycogenesis. In skeletal muscle, the enhancement of glycogen repletion by acetic acid feeding results from the accumulation of G-6-P due to suppression of glycolysis. We used acetic acid at concentrations comparable to those found in a normal diet. Therefore, we conclude that supplementing meals with vinegar may be beneficial in the recovery of liver and skeletal muscle glycogen, for example, upon fatigue, after skipping meals, postexercise or as part of an athlete’s breakfast on the day of competition.[/quote]
But I have read more material about people who drink vinegar.
Aside from muscle recovery, it's reported that vinegar assists with fat oxidation.

did you see any benefits?
There is a long list of benefits associated with apple cider vinegar, anyone can just google that to see.
I was more interested in any personal experiences people may have had in relation to weight lifting.
